The Reds prop lived up to the glowing recommendation on his team's memorable Super League return when his try in the final minute secured the 24-12 victory over Widnes.

"I have said Andy Coley should be part of the Great Britain set-up and I'm sure he will," said Harrison after the game. "Sometimes he just needs to play with his head rather than his heart."

"He was coming up with some really smart things but also some really dumb things."

"Overall, I thought we were the dominant team even without the ball."

"I thought we looked fitter than Widnes, we were far more athletic and the more structured team."

Coley was just one of the success stories for Harrison's heroes.

Centre Stuart Littler, who began the fightback with a 42nd-minute try, full-back Jason Flowers plus Aussie recruits Sean Rutgerson and Mark Shipway all played their part in leaving Widnes second best.

Harrison now wants to ensure the Willows becomes a fortress after the perfect start to the new season.

"There's a great spirit about the place and I don't take any notice that people are already tipping us to go down," he added. "All the games we play will be important but I'm really looking for us to do well at home. We aim to make the Willows a fortress."

"If teams play us and under-prepare, then I'm sure we can give them a shock. We've been preparing the guys as best we can."

"I don't read newspapers or listen too much to what people are saying. They say we are the whipping boys, but I'm preparing the team so we give ourselves a fighting chance."
